In Genesis 49:10 and Numbers 24:7, Moses predicts the coming of the Messiah according to Jewish interpretation (Rashi commentary). Though the chapter in Genesis was spoken by Jacob and the verses in Numbers 23-24 were spoken by Bil'am, it was Moses who recorded them in their permanent form (Deuteronomy 31:24). According to Judaism, the Messiah has yet to appear.


No prophet or king is foretold in Deuteronomy 18, since the verses there are all generic, not grammatically referring to any individual, but rather to a type of people who would later arrive (kings and prophets, both in that chapter). The last Israelite prophet died in 340 BCE.
